Conservation

Use Water Wisely There is Never Enough to Waste.

Goleta Water District has invested in a diverse water supply portfolio to meet customer needs, but there is never enough water to waste in this semi-arid climate.

Conservation During Drought

Goleta Water District customers have demonstrated a long standing commitment to water conservation. However, the severe drought conditions statewide are impacting local water supplies and will require the community to go above and beyond current conservation efforts to extend supplies into the future if drought conditions persist.

On May 12, 2015 the Goleta Water District Board of Directors declared a Stage III Water Shortage Emergency, with mandatory water use restrictions and changes to watering times. After four years of severe drought and an historic lack of rainfall, water conservation is critical to ensure adequate supplies for drinking, health and public safety. As we enter another summer of drought, the District is targeting a 35% district-wide reduction in water usage. Click here for more information.

Using water wisely outdoors and indoors will help to stretch our water supplies even further. Using water wisely does not require going without. Rather, it means using water more efficiently so that you get the same benefits with less water. We are here to help!

To assist customers in saving water, incentives and rebate programs will be available in coordination with the Stage III Water Shortage Emergency. For more information, click on the program/s listed below:Smart Landscape Rebate Program
